I use a pretty standard group of plugins. Mostly I rely on use of categories and custom fields to achieve what I need. For your specific use, I’d look at Viper’s Video QuickTags which I use to embed video. There is probably a plugin that does exactly what you want in the WordPress.org repository as well. Let me know if you need help finding one!

I’m wondering if you would share which plug-ins you used. Was this all straigt out of the box other than the theme? I’m considering using WordPress for setting up an online sheetmusic store, I would also need to find a way to implement audio previews of all the music as part of the shop.

As a rule, I can get better SEO results without WordPress, since I can keep the code to an absolute minimum and craft every single page to meet the SEO goals. Hence I’m able to achieve a higher keyword density using custom code.

When weighed with the benefits of WordPress, I think that you can get good enough results. For most blogs I like to use All in One SEO pack as a plugin to help me get results. I’ve actually just rewritten it for use on a major site so that we’ve got exactly the feature we need, although those are specific enough to that site that I don’t plan to release the plugin for general use.

Hi Mark,

I agree that WordPress makes a fantastic content management system – we use it on our own site. Do you find that WordPress has any negative impact on Search Engine Optimization?
